Steve's gone to F1 on ITV.

I'm no Golf fan, and I know it's a running joke that America doesn't care about anything outside America, but surely for a major international tournament they would take into consideration international broadcasters - and hence have feeds available which are not interupted by ads and do have consistant graphics etc.

There are - the BBC are doing their own production as I have said, by using USA's coverage and mixing it with the international coverage. The international feed is used by every other channel, and during advertisement breaks they show not only the leaderboard, but also top international players, focus on one player's highlights, weather and much more than what the BBC are showing.

The scoreboard on the golf doesn't look very BBC like if you know what I mean, apart from the logo at the bottom which has so obviously been stuck over the top.

Of course it's not - it's USA's coverage. Tomorrow CBS will have coverage so the graphics will change.

The Masters is underway, and Gary Lineker made a very comfortable debut on live golf coverage.

I take it the Beeb have the power to pick and choose what they show from the CBS? Because RTE2 seem to be showing completely different coverage!

The Beeb have broken away for chat, while RTE2 are continuing with live play. I would've thought the Beeb would wait for CBS breaks for their chat?

The BBC takes (as do all other worldwide channels) USA Network's coverage of the Masters, as they take the first two days, then CBS takes the final two. This is why they only started coverage at 9:00 - USA started at that time as well, doing I assume chat and banter.

RTE and all the other channels such as Spain's Golf+ and Fox Sports are taking the international coverage, but it's different for the BBC as they have their own studio and production (they record other shots and play them whilst using USA's coverage and the international coverage). To be honest the BBC's coverage is not that fantastic, there are always interruptions and interviews, and Lineker blames CBS, who aren't even covering it until Saturday.

It would be difficult for chat during commercials as they only last 1 minute, which is why they use their edited scoreboard during this time. The fact they opt out of live coverage to do banter irritates me a bit.

I think last year the BBCi service allowed you to switch between the BBC mix of the event and the US broadcast mix, showing different holes with different commentary?

I don't think it did - the only golf event that BBCi covers is the British Open. There would be problems with advertising as well.

All squeaky clean now

Many thanks to Nini for pointing out the font issue, to which I was unaware.

Thanks again,
Michael

How could you not tell it was Sky Movies Sans?

Especially when you make this stuff and when you select a font, whose name is present?

That, is the most amazing, most fantastic, most original, most creative, most brilliantly put together design I have ever seen on this forum.

Much better than anything I could have done!

5/4, brilliant.

That is true.

Already been known for a couple of weeks...the contract just had to be signed.

It's different from someone on GMTV being poached...anchors in the US are celebrities almost...

She's getting paid $13m to $15m for 5 years around, can't see any UK presenter getting paid that much.

In context with the background, it looks weird that a real earth is used, doesn't it? Imagine if BBC News used a real earth, it doesn't look right.

There are no programmes whatsoever that use real earth with a CGI background.

Oh and I'm pretty sure that this qualifys as a "real" looking globe with other CG effects..

But it's real in context with the background! It's space with lots of effects. This guy has used BBC News swirls, on a white background. It just doesn't fit.

Only if you want to, but would you care to create a new thread and expand on this theme? I really like the astons and think it has potential!

Thank you. I doubt I will have enough time to build on this to warrant a new thread but basically it would be a situation where ITV tries to incorporate its News into GMTV, hence similar graphics would be used to ITV News, but the colours more breakfast-y.

Well, please don't upload in BMP please!

Too much rings, what is going on? The globe should be BBC News (ie CGI) not real Earth.
